Boeing Receives Saudi F-15 Radar Contract Modification

Boeing has been awarded an $18.3 million contract modification by the U.S. Air Force to supply AN/APG-63(V) 3 radar for the Saudi Arabian air force’s F-15SA aircraft.

The Defense Department said Monday work will primarily occur in Forest, Mississippi, through March 31, 2017.

The modification falls under a foreign military sales agreement between the U.S. government and Saudi Arabia.

Boeing-built F-15 jets serve as twin-engine, all weather fighters that work to support air-to-air combat.
